Read up on character encoding, and always remember to [search first](https://www.google.com/#q=site:stackoverflow.com+java+println+question+mark) before asking. – Hovercraft Full Of Eels Jul 10 '17 at 14:17
Windows command only supports the 8bit character set of the user's locale, e.g. windows-1252 if in Western Europe. When in Western Europe, you should be able to print U+0000 -> U+00FF – Alastair McCormack Jul 10 '17 at 14:24
@Alastair McCormack is there any other way to print that character – anubhav deshwal Jul 10 '17 at 14:33

According to https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Unicode/Character_reference/0000-0FFF, U+0080 is a control character, as are many between, U+0080 and U+009F. Try jumping to U+00A0 – Alastair McCormack Jul 10 '17 at 14:35
